 Schools Approve Use of Porn 2 

"The display board consisted of clippings about homosexual partner benefits and depicting victories of homosexual rights [advocates]. ... There was a picture of two homosexual men together calling them a family and one with children as family. ... It was one-sided," Downs told WorldNetDaily. When he complained to the principal, the teacher of 22 years was allowed to post opposing material on a bulletin board. But after the principal received staff complaints that his material was "disrespectful," "offensive," "upsetting," "objectionable" and "derogatory," he was ordered to take it down and threatened with disciplinary action.

"They could just complain and I was ordered to remove mine ... and I would complain about theirs and nothing would ever happen," said Downs. "The principal said if I didn't like it, I could walk with my head down. I'm not going to walk with my head down." Instead, Downs sued, claiming his constitutionally protected free-speech rights were being violated.

The district took the position that the bulletin boards were not free-speech zones but contained approved curriculum material. That argument prompted a court order for the district to produce everything posted on bulletin boards on schools throughout the district in observance of "Gay and Lesbian Awareness Month." Four boxes of material collected from 50 of the approximately 650 schools in the district were produced.

"There were ads for porn movies and where kids can go to see them and ads for sex boutiques," describes Downs. "When we saw the filth, the free-speech issue was no longer important. Getting the filth out of the public schools [became] the focus." The "filth," however, was precluded from Downs' court case but has been allowed in a sequel suit filed on behalf of a LAUSD student. That case is pending in the 9th Circuit Court.

LAUSD's legal department referred WorldNetDaily to its outside counsel for comment on the lawsuits. Calls to the law firm have not been returned.

The school district prevailed in Downs' suit with a summary judgment in its favor in district court, affirmed by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in September 2000. Judge Stephen Trott wrote the appellate court's opinion that "We do not face an example of the government opening up a forum for either unlimited or limited public discussion. Instead, we face an example of the government opening up its own mouth: LAUSD, by issuing Memorandum No. 111, and Leichman High, by setting up the Gay and Lesbian Awareness bulletin boards. The bulletin boards served as an expressive vehicle for the school board's policy of 'Educating for Diversity.'"

Promoting 'diversity' and 'safety'

The California Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 2000 required the State Board of Education to revise state curriculum to "include human relations education, with the aim of fostering an appreciation of the diversity of California's population and discouraging the development of discriminatory attitudes and practices. ... Acknowledge lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender historical figures, events, concepts, and issues in the revisions of content standards and curriculum frameworks, when appropriate. Identify and expand the available lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender resources for school library materials. ... Propose legislative or budget language to fund research of promising programs preventing discrimination, harassment and violence based on actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity."

The board cites studies indicating lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth to be at greater risk for being victimized and more likely to experience anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, to abuse substances and contemplate or attempt suicide. According to the California Alliance for Pride and Equality , "Students who describe themselves as lesbian or gay are five times more likely to miss school because of felling [sic] unsafe. Twenty-eight percent are forced to drop-out."

The 2000 statutes required schools to prevent any "hate-motivated incident," which is defined as "an act or attempted act which constitutes an expression of hostility against a person or property or institution because of the victim's real or perceived race, religion, disability, gender, nationality or sexual orientation. This may include using bigoted insults, taunts, or slurs, distributing or posting hate-group literature or posters, defacing, removing, or destroying posted materials or announcements, posting or circulating demeaning jokes or leaflets."

The 2000 statutes picked up where the 1999 Carl Washington School Safety and Violence Prevention Act left off, tapping into $100 million allocated by the legislature for "preventing and responding to acts of hate violence."

In addition to being bound by state statutes to promote homosexuality in its "diversity" and "safety" programs, schools face the threat of lawsuits by advocacy groups such as the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network if they fail to address "student-on-student abuse based on sexual orientation." On its website, GLSEN applauds a "landmark settlement" received by a Pennsylvania 'gay' teen.

Said Executive Director Kevin Jennings, "The court's decision to award 19-year-old Timothy Dahle with a settlement of $312,000 to compensate for the pervasive anti-gay abuse he faced in the Titusville Area School District is breathtaking." Jennings further concludes, "There are clear lessons to be learned by school administrators and staff ... that teachers and staff take a risk – a risk that can have dire fiscal implications on their districts – when this kind of maltreatment goes unchecked."

There is evidence "diversity" programs that promote homosexuality are effective. A Hamilton College Gay Issues poll released in August finds two-thirds of high school graduates favor legal recognition of homosexual marriages, 71 percent believe sexual relations between same-sex adults should be legal, and 71 percent of graduates would allow 'gay' men to serve as Scout leaders.

(from Jen) doesn't it ever occur to anyone that the reason the suicide rates and drug abuse of gays is not because of the consensus of society but because of the unhealthy lifestyle, both physically and mentally?  San Francisco, so proud of the gay population that to be straight is to be frowned upon, still shows high incidences of suicide and drug abuse among gays.  God condemns homosexuality for a reason, it is HARMFUL, mentally, physically, spiritually and it defiles the land.  Again, if someone insists on that lifestyle, that's your choice.  But DO NOT FORCE THOSE IDEAS ON OUR CHILDREN!
